I second Charles, though I doubt APC will provide anything. I would add that since this uses a serial adapter, you should look only at serial driver. and there are not many candidates, considering APC and the legacy: genericups with other APC cables, maybe mge-utalk and mge-shut Otherwise, a usb sniff when using the provided SGM software may be an option... cheers, Arno
